A good meal should be complemented by good wine.
And when the two are enjoyed in the waterfront setting of Mom Tri’s Boathouse, with its friendly and casual ambience, it is the finest dining imaginable. Ease into the evening with a cocktail and the stunning view of the sun slipping into the Andaman Sea.

Wines available from the list of more than 750 labels deserve a special and honourable mention. For the second consecutive year, the Boathouse has been awarded Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence in 2007, a distinction that has been presented to only one restaurant in Thailand as of 2006. The efforts and collaboration of Wine Consultant and 3rd degree French Sommelier Georges Ciret, F & B Manager Pinyo Thippimas and Chef Tummanoon Punchun are to be applauded.

“Wines by the Glass” is the ideal way to sample some of the wines from the best producers of the world that complement the exquisite dishes prepared. The Giesen, Sauvignon Blanc, 2004 from New Zealand is a dry and refreshing white wine that was a perfect recommendation to the appetizers of Prawn Timbale – prawns, avocado and tomato confit – and to the Sea Scallop and Duck, a dish of sautéed sea scallops and sliced breast of duck with bean sprouts and soya shallot dressing. An Australian red, The Queen Adelaide, Pinot Noir, 2004 was a good choice for both the seafood and meat entrées. The recommended dishes of Rock Lobster Triology with three styles of rock lobster topped with green curry, Armagnac and Thermidor sauce and Roasted Australian rack of lamb encrusted with Oriental green herbs served with thyme sauce offered splendid taste and texture combinations.

The evening was topped off with decadent sweets of a creamy Tiramisu and Warm Chocolate Cake with pistachio ice cream and a Muscadel.

Outstanding cuisine, some of the finest wines in the world, matchless location, true style, relaxing ambience and warm hospitality keep Phuket residents and visitors returning to the Boathouse time and time again.
